On The Mental Health Evolution, Rachel and her guests have talked about what trauma-informed clinical work means in practice, and what often gets called trauma-informed but is not across 55 episodes. A few that pair well with this training:
The skills Sandra Paulsen says are required before working in an intensive EMDR format, including dissociation assessment, ego state therapy, and early trauma protocols, are what TSTI's advanced training sequence is built to develop.
If Kathy's polyvagal-informed approach to nervous system regulation resonates with you, EMDR training offers another evidence-based framework for working with the body's stress response, this time in direct clinical work with your clients. TSTI's EMDR Basic Training covers all eight phases and meets EMDRIA requirements.
If your EMDR or trauma-informed clinical work brings you into schools or with school-aged clients, this episode gives grounding in how physical environments either support or undermine the regulation work you are doing in the room.
